    Discovery 1 axle lockers and fording

    Cannot see why you would want to do that tbh, the TC can be a pain in sand situations, but generally it is a very good system, add the CDL and the D2 is very very good.

    Discovery 1 axle lockers and fording

    The more physical locks you add in the drivetrain / axles, the more the TC becomes redundant. So with a D2 "for example"..... If you add a CDL (first !) then say a rear axle locker, then the TC will be mainly working on the front axle, so you will have almost TRUE 3 wheel drive. As...

    Discovery 1 axle lockers and fording

    Thats not always the case, the locker as we know stops the wheels spinning then "grabbing" the terrain which is what happens with open diffs, this is when the damage is done to the halfshafts and the diff..... so fitting the lockers actually can make the drive train last longer and the...

    Td5 oil filter

    I always "nip" mine up with oil filter pliers, they can and DO come loose if only hand tight, which is a problem really because everyone has different strength in their hands.

    disco 2 td5 diff lock

    Not "quite" The Disco 1 box has no drilling / hole / switch for the high /low switch in the front output casing, so you would either have to add that to the D1 box, or fit a manual "in cab" switch to tell it when its in high or low.

    Paddocks steering box. ( fit one at your peril ! ).

    At last I found a spec sheet, have looked before but not found much...... Texaco 14315 fluid is the same as or equivalent toTexamatic 7045 which is again equal to Dexron IIE and Dexron III and also GM spec G.M 9985835 and last but not least Saab spec ETX 6024, ETX 6820 So theres plenty of...

    how do you know whe your front springs need replacing?

    at 102k if they are original springs, they would have sagged up to about an inch, but you get "used to it", its not until you bung new ones in your realize just how bad they were, its also VERY common for D2 front springs to snap a coil or 2. The height from the centre of the front wheel to...

    Paddocks steering box. ( fit one at your peril ! ).

    What I mean Del is who ever said it would stuff the pump and shorten the seal life is talking rubbish m8.......the spec of the texaco fluid is VERY similar to ATF.......the seals in the system would be produced to a spec, and they will work with hundreds of diff types of oils. As far as the...

    A Few Questions From A New Discovery Owner.

    If you need to press it 3 times to unlock ANY door, then its an early sign of that door lock failing and will soon need replacement. 1 press to unlock driver and 2nd press for the rest is known as 'single point locking', it is a feature, a pain in the ass and one of the first things I turned...

    Just picked up my new Disco 2 and now here come the questions :)

    The front screen has its own switch and is located above the rear screen one, most if not all vehicles are wired for them, just require the screen / switch/ relay and "enabling" in the BCU.

    td5 broken wire to a sensor

    Remove the cup holder assy (6 screws) poke your fingers into the little holes either side, push the clips towards the centre of the aircon unit and it will pop out.

    Discovery 2 3rd row seat stowage

    You have rear aircon as already said, the fan assy etc lives behind the rear passenger side panel, so it "pushes" the 3rd row seat into the boot area. Makes quite a big difference imo.

    Paddocks steering box. ( fit one at your peril ! ).

    Sorry, but what a load of bollox.... Do you think Land Rover or say even adwest designed a new special "pump" and "box" for the D2 for use with the new fluid ??? .......not on your nelly did they......

    Paddocks steering box. ( fit one at your peril ! ).

    Fitted a paddocks one to mine, been fine to date........I suppose you can get good and bad where ever you go..........and yes I agree Paddocks are cheap, but for the prices on a lot of the stuff (even "extras" as opposed to parts) they simply cannot be beaten.

    Interior lights problem - disco 2

    They need programing to your vehicle "spec" as all vehicles have diff options "selected" AND the BCU stores the mileage of the vehicle, as well as the Instrument pack. The 2 must be "synched" so the odometer does not flash and I believe you can ONLY advance the mileage NOT decrease it, so if you...

    Drivers Door Central Locking Problem

    Lubing is generally a waist of time on the D2 locks, its common for them to be intermittent then fail completely....and then lead you into a false sense of security and work again for a while.........before failing again........ You need a new one basically
